permanent implant, 31 % failed to reach the 50 % reduction threshold defined as
success. Younger age was related to success with temporary stimulation. A neuro-
logic disorder as etiology for incontinence was related to success with permanent
implant.
SNS was compared to optimal medical therapy in a randomized study including
60 patients with severe fecal incontinence in each arm [36]. Ninety percent (54
patients) in the SNS group reached the threshold of 50 % improvement of inconti-
nent episodes; 53 were implanted with 47 % reporting perfect continence. There
were no septic complications at a mean follow up of 12 months. There was no sig-
nificant improvement reported in the medical therapy group.
A short version Cochrane review of SNS for fecal incontinence published in
2008 included two small crossover studies [37]. The authors concluded that while
results were very limited, it suggested that SNS could improve fecal continence in
selected patients. However, it was also noted that temporary percutaneous stimula-
tion did not always successfully identify those for whom a permanent implant
would be beneficial, exposing some group of patients to having an ineffective inva-
sive procedure and foreign body implant.
Several longer term reports on SNS results from a multi-institutional study group
illuminate the risk of adverse events and significant complications requiring reop-
eration. The most common device or therapy related adverse events were implant
site pain (28 %), paresthesia (15 %), change in stimulation sensation (12 %), and
infection (10 %) [38]. Of particular note, infection carries a 50 % risk of permanent
system explantation [39]. Additionally, 36 % of patients followed for at least 5 years
required a device revision, replacement, or explant [40].
The most recent Cochrane review of SNS for fecal incontinence included four
crossover trials and two parallel group trials. The authors concluded that the limited
evidence from the included trials suggested SNS could improve continence in a
proportion of patients with fecal incontinence. However, authors also noted the fre-
quency of reported adverse events ranged from 15 to 21 % [41].

Discussion

Direct comparison of data regarding anal sphincter repair and SNS is difficult. Most
of the studies of sphincteroplasty are small, single institution, often retrospective,
and the populations included and measures used to quantify outcome are heteroge-
neous. This is underscored by the conclusions of the most recent Cochrane review
of surgery for fecal incontinence in adults, which comments on the lack of high
quality randomized controlled trials for fecal incontinence surgery [42]. While short
to medium term outcomes for anal sphincter repair are good, function deteriorates
over time. However, long term outcomes still seem at least as good as the definition
of SNS “success”, and patient quality of life and reported satisfaction remain high.
Many of the published studies of SNS in fecal incontinence are small crossover
or parallel trials, with a lack of comparison to anal sphincter repair. The included

populations are heterogeneous, and the outcome measures often differ from those
used in the evaluation of anal sphincter repair outcomes. The frequency with which
patients achieve the 50 % reduction threshold to proceed to permanent electrode
implant varies, with predictive factors not clearly identified, and success with tem-
porary implant does not guarantee success with permanent implant. Finally, the risk
of complications leading to reoperation appears to be 15–20 %.

Conclusions

A. In patients with a demonstrated sphincter defect, if best conservative manage-
ment is not sufficient for control of moderate to severe fecal incontinence symp-
toms, sphincteroplasty should be strongly considered. Discussion of possible
worse short and long term outcomes should be undertaken with patients over
age 50 (or 60), and possibly also for those with pudendal neuropathy. Grade of
strength of recommendation is STRONG.
B. Outcomes of sphincteroplasty are at least as good as SNS outcomes with fewer
complications requiring reoperation. Grade of strength of recommendation is
STRONG.
C. Those who fail sphincteroplasty can be considered for repeat sphincteroplasty
with the expectation of reasonable results. Grade of recommendation is
CONDITIONAL.
D. Sphincteroplasty is unlikely to produce improvement for flatus incontinence.

Checklists in Surgery

Introduction

Nearly two decades have passed since the publication of To Err is Human [1], and
there has been considerable subsequent interest in research and interventions to
describe and prevent health care associated injuries and improve patient outcomes.
The WHO launched its “Safe Surgery Saves Lives” campaign in 2008 as a means to
prevent unnecessary mortality and improve outcomes for surgical patients [2]. This
program resulted in the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) [3], which has been
widely considered successful in reducing the rates of perioperative complications
and mortality. Use of the WHO and similar checklists has now become widespread.
However, not all investigations have confirmed their utility and checklists have cer-
tainly met some resistance wherever implemented. The purpose of this chapter is to
(1) summarize the current body of literature describing the use of surgical checklists
and (2) offer expert opinion as to what role checklists may serve for the practicing
colorectal surgeon.

Methods and Search Strategy

Prior to literature search, a PICO table and four specific questions were formulated
as shown below. The literature review was performed under guidelines suggested by
the GRADE approach. A systematic literature search was undertaken using
MEDLINE via PUBMED and the Cochrane Library. Publications in English dated
from January 2000 to May 2015 were included. MeSH search terms and their com-
bination included “checklist”, “safety”, “randomized control trial”, “mortality”,
“morbidity”, “surgery”, and “colorectal.” Specific database functions such were
used to maximize the search. Reference lists of retrieved articles were further
screened for additional publications. All identified studies involving evaluation of
implementation of, attitudes towards, or outcomes following use of surgical safety
checklists were reviewed in depth. The PICO table defined below was used to guide
literature search and interpretation of findings.
Question 1: Do surgical checklists reduce perioperative morbidity & mortality?
Question 2: Do surgical checklists have other costs or benefits?
Question 3: Are there costs or barriers to use of surgical checklists?
Question 4: Do surgical checklists offer specific benefits to colorectal surgery?

Results

Question 1: Do surgical checklists reduce perioperative morbidity & mortality?
The WHO surgical safety checklist was implemented in 2008. In 2009, Haynes’
et al. published a landmark study which began a growing mountain of evidence to
support the use of these checklists [2]. This study prospectively collected data on
approximately 4000 patients from a diverse group of eight hospitals worldwide
before and after implementation of the SSC. The authors demonstrated reductions
in death (1.5–0.8 %, p = 0.003) and inpatient complications (11.0–7.0 %, p < 0.001)
with checklist use. Many of the studies that followed have been prospective or ret-
rospective observational studies to evaluate the results of SCC implementation in
more specific clinical settings (Table 40.1).
While no prospective randomized control studies have been (or likely will be)
done, Gillespie et al. performed a robust meta-analysis including seven prospective
